Description: EBSCO has licensed materials to improve the visual content of its Web-based reference databases. Over 10,000 photographs, licensed from Archive Photo, have been added to EBSCO's collection of images. In addition to these photos, EBSCO has added a library of over 1,000 U.S. and world maps supplied by MapQuest. This additional, graphical content will allow researchers to gain a visual interpretation of articles, including those articles that otherwise would not contain images. EBSCO makes these maps and photographs accessible through authority files and hyperlinks from within the EBSCOhost databases or directly through Image Collections.
